Gingerbread

So remember in my last post when I said that I only had one more Christmas post for this year? Yeah, well I was kinda wrong, I ended up with two..whoops.  The day after Christmas we went to the Jefferson Hotel and hung out in the lobby and saw the huge gingerbread houses that they make every year and got hot chocolate in the lobby.  It's kinda just a thing people do around Christmas time there.  Anyways, I took so many pictures that I ended up with 8 alone of the gingerbread set up and 9 or 10ish more of the rest of the night!! I kinda wish I would have gotten picture of the whole set up together or  some of the fondant elves that they had or even the sign that said all the candy, icing, fondant and more that was used to build it cause its kinda crazy! Honestly, I can't even imaging the amount of work that it takes to put this together.  Last summer I worked at a bakery for a little part time job and I know the amount of work that it took just for cakes and everything so I can't even imaging how long this took.

Stay tuned for part two it should be posted within the hour!

Merry (Late) Christmas!

Munchy Monday's~2

Hello Blogging world:)

As I'm sure you have noticed it has been a few weeks since I have posted a Munchy Monday.  Not to fear though, because they are back!

This lunch consisted of me and my mom going to a French restraint downtown called the Can Can that I had been wanting to try a while.  Needless to say, it was one of those places where the build up to going there was much better then my experience there.  I have heard many people say wonderful things about this place so I was expecting a pretty high quality meal.  Instead I found that the food was rather over priced for the amount of food that we got and my hot chocolate wasn't very hot.

Random artsy black and white bar picture.

My Peanut butter pie hot chocolate.

My mom's soup.

I got the cheese platter.  I kinda wish I would have realized that it came with meat though since I'm a vegetarian!

I didn't take any picture of my outfit though, sorry!!

I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for next weeks lunch!!

XOXO

Munchy Monday's~1

Today my mom gave me an idea of something to post on the blog.

She said that on Mondays we should go out to eat and then I can post on the blog.

I loved the idea since at the time we were already sitting at a table in a Greek café called Stella's.  One of the blogs that I follow, all-thoselittlethings actually does something very similar to this but with brunch on Sundays!

I got a feta and lemon Phylo...

My mom got the hummus and pasta dish with pitas

..and can we just take a min to talk about this picture right here?

This is (or now was haha) a chocolate baklava with salted caramel gelato on top. Hold the phone cause I am in dessert heaven right now!

Okay so now to talk clothes:

Hat: Forever 21

Crop Top: Nordstroms BP

Skater Skirt: Pacsun

Shirt: Stolen from my mother closet

Shoes: Target

Enjoy
